Not sure how they could parade a trip advisor recommendation in the lobby of this "hotel", whose pictures are most deceiving. Not sure who worte the othre reviews as well, failing to mention one important point, that there are no windows to the rooms. Since I could not cancel, I found myself forced to upgrade to a suite. Anyone would be much better of going to cochera de hobo, next door, where I stayed after. This is really a scam, with no windows except in the suites, not so budget anymore...

Room Tip: Suites are the only rooms with a window. The others open directly on a corridor. no air, quite suffo...

Thank you for your opinion, we are sorry that you found your stay disappointing. Every room has a window, rooms at the economic rate however, face the lobby and not the outside. This is the first time that we have a complaint for the lack of windows facing the exterior. This house is of Colonial style and respects the architecture of the 18th Century which gives the charm and authenticity to our hotel.

This hotel is located in a central location.Close to everything.Despite being central it is in a very quiet location. 24 hours reception and super safe.The rooms have a key safe.They provide a laundry service and all hotel staff was super helpful,polite and friendly.For the non-spanish speakers, you are lucky as the receptionist have very good level of English.Free internet and wifi available.Reception can organize tours for you(Totumo Volcano) or give an estimate of organized tour prices and you can then compare around.Rooms are super clean and comfy.Lovely bathroom with hot running showers.Top floor bedrooms have plenty of day light, but ground floor ones only have a window opening at communal hallway, therefore no privacy or plenty of day light.Yammy breakfast everyday!!Only down side, but small detail,there were plenty of hungry mosquitos.Mostly in communal areas(breakfast, swimming pool, internet corner).I could not recommend it more.Excellent stay.Thank you!

Room Tip: Go for top floor bedrooms for more privacy and plenty of daylight coming through.

The building is located on one of the typical streets in the inner city. Once inside you are surrounded by a mini-tropical like atmosphere that is very appealing. This is an open air setting so it can be humid and warm outside your room but remember you are in Cartagena!. We had a balcony room that overlooked the street and we had our excellent pizza from the small restaurant a few steps away during the evening twice. You here the 'sounds of Cartagena' until about midnight but nothing intense enough that will cause you to question your stay here. The staff here were great! Alejandro spoke enough English for any questions you might have and was very accommodating. Room and bathroom was clean and a/c works well. Hot water is very hot but in limited amounts. The complimentary morning breakfast was fresh fruit, juice, coffee,and either eggs or pancake with that was the perfect amount served by a very friendly and always smiling chef! Free Wi-Fi provided but may not reach upstairs at times so just step outside your room and sit in open air area. Great value for the money! We will stay here again if we come back to Cartagena!

Room Tip: We had to cover the small window above our room door from the inside to block the lighting entering...

The hotel is two blocks away from San Diego Plaza and you can easily wander around the magnificent historical city center from there. The attention you get at check-in and check-out is great - the receptionist accompanied me to the room and explained everything to me in great detail.

The building is a typical old colonial house, impressive and charming, but the rooms are really comfortable with air-con, fan and free wi-fi.

Really enjoyed my stay and it was great value for money.

I stayed here recently with my girlfriend and it was really nice. The staff went out of their way to be nice and helpful, the breakfast was good, and the space was in a nice location. The old city is fantastic - the absolute place-to-be in Cartagena.

I want to give special thanks to Alejandro and Johann for being incredibly nice and helpful.

I think the place could be a little cleaner and the rooms could be more spacious, but it didn't bother me that much and I was with my girlfriend.

As you knock on the door you won't expect to find what lays inside Casa del Curato. A remodeled colonial house with beautiful decoration and vegetation and very comfortable rooms. You feel really safe and very welcome, the staff is very friendly. The hotel has a GREAT location, you are close to a lot of restaurants and great "plazas". The breakfast is pretty good, you'll probably be served fresh juice, colombian coffee, eggs and toasts, and nice slices of fresh fruit. The wi-fi reaches all the parts of the hotel. As for the rooms, they are very nice, great satellite tv, safe and the best thing... the hot water shower (not too common in cartagenas hostels).

We really enjoyed our stay here. Although we don't speak any Spanish (shame on us) the staff were lovely and accommodating and were able to communicate with us in English phrases.

They serve a free breakfast each day which was a wonderful way to start each day and provided us with lots of energy to explore this beautiful city. Breakfast included an amazing fresh juice, fresh fruit plate and different cooked meal each day ( our fave was the scrambled eggs).

The rooms were clean and nicely appointed and the bathrooms were spacious and very clean as well. The Internet connection was good and we enjoyed spending time reclining in the lounge areas.

Well located in the old city and close to plenty of great restaurants. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. We will certainly be coming back ourselves.
